I have a business idea and would like some feedback about whether or not you think it is viable. I have prepared taxes for individuals for the last 3 years and for the last 2 I ran a tax office and…Continue

"Hi Tracy,
I think you have an interesting idea, and I think there is a market for it, however, I am with Brian in that you need to be sure that you do not cross the line from giving advice to being the preparer.

"This is an interesting idea, Tracy. Your business model seems to entail rendering professional advice when requested. That implies the taxpayers are simply logging in to their own choice of online tax prep software. Hence, when the problems they…"

"My husband recently published his first book. Because he was a "local author", a bookstore downtown gave him a slot to do a book signing for the community. He was able to rub shoulders with many members of the community who had…"

"Michael,
I really appreciate your comment. I can see that you are right. In the last tax office that I worked, I had several customers that would specifically ask for me. I can see that by using my name, it will be easier…"

"Tracy,
I'm going to diverge from the other posts here and go against TAB. What you've do with TAB is take something personal and specific (your name) and turn it generic. IBM got away with it because they were a multi-million dollar…"

"Another problem is that my target markets are different for tax customers and bookkeeping clients. So it's hard to pick a name that reaches out to both of them.

"Tracy,
That may be the coolest example of synchronicity I've seen in ages. :-)
I'm not coming up with brilliance, but perhaps your initials in combination with a tagline would do the trick?

"You want to be able to convey what your business does in your business name. If you have a website you will want something that you can get a domain name for as well. With a little research from Go Daddy I came up with this so…"

I have a great business name idea, but can't seem to get it to work as well as I'd like. Please give me some ideas to improve it and make it fabulous! I am a certified tax professional, self-employed bookkeeper with a few clients, and have a Bachelor's degree in Accounting. I would like to build up my business to the point where I am busy during tax season, then have regular bookkeeping clients throughout the year. I am trying to figure out a business name that tells my clients what services…See More

Profile Information

How did you hear about 48Days.NET, and what do you hope to get out of being a part of this community?

Started listening to Dan's podcast, then checked out the website and now I'm joining the 48 Days Community. I would like to expand my small bookkeeping business and would like to use the members of this community to find out how they are increasing their businesses.

What is your current work situation? Employee, self-employed, generating any income on your own?

I am currently self-employed doing bookkeeping for a few clients.

And then...what is your goal/dream for your work life?

I would like to build up my practice to bring in more income, but still maintain the flexible work schedule that I currently have.

How about your personal life? Any specific goals or achievements or dreams you are pursuing (or want to pursue)?

I recently started to set and achieve goals in several different areas. My biggest current goals are reading one book a month, riding my bike 4x a week, and working on learning Spanish.

What would you say are your strongest talents? How are you 'wired' and what can you offer to the world (it's OK if you don't know yet, but knowing is key to pursuing your dreams!)?

I like organization and structure. I am friendly, but an introvert. I am really good with individual income taxes and bookkeeping.

Also, I'd like to point out that one of the best places to connect with other liked-minded people here is in the GROUPS section. There are groups for just about every interest you can think of, and if you can't find a group that interests you, you can start one. Groups are my favorite part of 48Days.Net!

Finally, if you happen to be a speaker or author (or want to become either), check out these two groups. They are two of the most popular groups on the site because of all the great conversation taking place:
